PRODUCTION DATA.
The BQ76925 device is designed to interface to a multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) located in an external Host controller, such as an MSP430 Microcontroller or equivalent. Three outputs provide voltage, current, and temperature information for measurement by the Host. In addition, the BQ76925 device includes a low-drift calibrated 1.5 / 3 V reference that is output on a dedicated pin for use as the reference input to the ADC.
The gain and offset characteristics of the BQ76925 device are measured during factory test and stored in non-volatile memory as correction factors. The Host reads these correction factors and applies them to the ADC conversion results in order to achieve high-measurement accuracy. In addition, the precise voltage reference of the BQ76925 can be used to calibrate the gain and offset of the Host ADC.
